I really think they were ordered to draft him.  They can say what they want, but there was no joy in Mudville when he was picked. 

Before this, the Browns were having a good draft.  SS had to know the reason he dropped--his poor interviews, feeling of entitlement, etc.  and when Gabriel trolls him, he acts as if the number was his--at least, that is the implication.  It was an aggressive move by Gabriel, but Sanders, under these circumstances, should not have taken the bait.

Sure looked that way. That draft room looked like a funeral when the pick was announced and they'd already taken a QB two rounds earlier. Did not seem like a decision made by the folks in that room. Said it during the draft.

They were probably so upset because they knew the can of worms it was about to open on them when ownership dictated that pick.

Because there is absolutely a scenario where he goes in there and looks like he might deserve the job.  Flacco has looked decent as a backup the last few years, but one of these seasons he's going to show up to camp and father time will have ended his career.  Pickett sucks and it's not like Gabriel is a can't miss draft pick either.

There is a very real chance that Shedeur shows in camp that he should be the starter and then the coaches have to either play him and deal with the media around it, or sit him with fans calling to play him and also deal with the media around it.

Is this fake news? I can't see the tweet or anyone else reporting this, if it was true it would be all over the internet by now.

Looking like it.  Quick review of Schefer X line doesn't show the post

He's definitely winning the job.  Gabriel isn't an nfl qb in my opinion. Flacco will start the season and go 0-4 Pickett will be traded after someone gets hurt in preseason.  I feel like I'm the only one that thinks sanders is an nfl qb. He's immature but he can play.  I don't think work ethic is an issue for him like most of the entitled busts that have come through the league.

It could be.  A friend of mine from Ohio (an hour below Cleveland) forwarded it to me--it was apparently making the rounds up there---he believed it.

I have heard nothing else about it--probably is fake. Apologies if it is--I trusted my friend who sent it to me.  He may have been fooled too.  I did not verify it like I normally do--and I am not on X.  My bad.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
